I recently saw a recipe for Turmeric Tea posted by Wellness Mama. I’ve known of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties for some time and have done turmeric soaps in the past.

We have several soaps on the curing rack but I can’t wait for this one to be ready to use! Our Hawaiian Ginger beer soap was resurrected by customer request. She found a bar she didn’t know she had and said it was the first time she smiled in the shower in along time. We […]
